Scoring

Here is my (totally informal) scoring of the race (see the chart below):

Person-kilometres is the race distance times the average number of people carried (which I believe was 4 for PrISUm and 2 for UMNSVP). The first coloured bar shows this, scaled so that 100% is the highest value.

Energy input is the number of charges (1, in this case) times battery size. The second coloured bar shows this, scaled so that 100% is the highest value (this bar points downward, because smaller is better).

The third coloured bar shows the ratio of these numbers, scaled so that 80% is the highest ratio.

We add on (in grey) the practicality scores (I’m estimating 9 for PrISUm and 7 for UMNSVP), scaled so that 20% is the highest practicality.

This gives final scores of 100 for PrISUm and 82 for UMNSVP. Congratulations, PrISUm!

But will PrISUm still have the advantage when it needs to carry passengers uphill?
